[ChrisInYourPants]

What are next weeks songs?

[Jerz]

I don't remember reading this answered in the old thread.

Is there no "open" drum mode? You're able to do the fills, so why is there no mode where you can just fuck around?

[GRANOLEMAN]

Rock Band DLC announcement tomorrow at approx 2pm.

[the sick]

really like those Boston tracks

[Unregistered Guy]

Just recently borrowed this from a buddy, and my girl fell in love with it.
It's kind of irritating how they don't just release a giant schedule for releases.
I am hoping they put out some more NIN tracks eventually, however.

[GRANOLEMAN]

They have already released a NIN track pack.

Nine Inch Nails - "March of the Pigs" (master)
Nine Inch Nails - "The Collector" (master)
Nine Inch Nails - "The Perfect Drug" (master)

[Unregistered Guy]

Right... but I was saying that I carry the hope they will release more eventually.

Also, thanks for teh XBL sig idea ;)

[GRANOLEMAN]

Ah ok, wasn't sure since you were borrowing it if you knew about that DLC or not.

[the sick]

Right... but I was saying that I carry the hope they will release more eventually.

Also, thanks for teh XBL sig idea ;)

last pack was called "NIN Pack 1"

[allison wonderland]

still alive

Hey everybody!

This week we have a special present for you in celebration of April Fool's Day. For $0 (0 Microsoft Points) you can download-

"Still Alive" by GlaD0s and Jonathan Coulton (master)



Due to work Sony is doing on their store they won't be adding new material for a couple weeks so this won't release on PlayStation Store this week. When they go back up with new material in a few weeks, though, it will be there lovingly waiting for you. For free. I'll post something up here when it is available on that platform.

It will be available on Xbox360 on April 1st.

Also special thanks to Valve and to Jonathan Coulton for helping to make this happen. You rule.


Talk about this week's DLC here.

DLC credits available here.

Check Rockband.com/life for stories about each week's DLC.

[gnutella]

fuck that. lame.

[GRANOLEMAN]

fuck that. lame.

I agree, at least put out something in addition to this.

[allison wonderland]

i think its awesome

[ballsniffer]

why complain about free?

[dalton]

fuck all i want is to play fuel and supernaut and they keep fucking jerking me around every week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

[GRANOLEMAN]

I know, this week is a complete waste. They delay the DLC annoucement until today and then this is all we get. So lame.

[fagwhathappened]

lame :(

[fagwhathappened]

And also, I wish they'd just let me buy another fucking kick pedal. I want some double bassin' action.

[ballsniffer]

http://omegapedal.com/

thing looks rather pimp (but expen$ive). they've also got a "twin rocker" switch to allow for double bass.

[fagwhathappened]

That kick is nice. You can use just a simple headphone splitter on the pedals, i just need to find a broken one or something.

[ballsniffer]

well the thing w/the headphones splitter is if you have one pedal down the other won't work (b/c the circuit is already closed). their thing fixes that somehow

i guess if you keep your feet up all the time that won't matter, but i tend to keep my bass foot down after i hit it

[GRANOLEMAN]

Fuck that pedal is nice, but I can't make myself drop that much on a video game accessory.

[ballsniffer]

there's this one too: http://rockbandpedal.net/

i'm not sure it's as good as the other one though, and is made by some dude in his basement (seriously) so i'd be hesitant to order one.

[gnutella]

I know, this week is a complete waste. They delay the DLC annoucement until today and then this is all we get. So lame.
maybe its a setup for an april fools joke. you know, be like, hey look at this horrid dlc and then BAM something awesome instead. APRIL FOOLS

[GRANOLEMAN]

God I hope, more like surprise no dlc.

[milhouse]

maybe its a setup for an april fools joke. you know, be like, hey look at this horrid dlc and then BAM something awesome instead. APRIL FOOLS

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe we'll get a full album tomorrow?

I agree. I was drunk the other night when I logged on and noticed there was a new board....so I signed up with the first name I could think of because I thought the registration would close quickly. I might just change it now.

still alive was fun in portal and all but why would you want to play it in rock band

[chintzy]

yeah seriously, this dlc shit is getting a bit ridiculous

[GRANOLEMAN]

To go from last week's 6 pack of Boston to this shit is absolutely retarded.

[Bobby Bluewater]

yeah, pretty lame.. but they might release something else.
or hopefully something big next week like an album... though i doubt it. :/

[flipp jackson]

they've been promising nevermind and that who album for an awful long time

[csb]

$36 bucks later, much quieter drums

[flipp jackson]

what did you put on the heads to make them quieter?

i was the same way at first but you just have to play it loud and listen to the drums as you play instead of just reading the chart.

once you get the hang of it, it's easy..i beat it on hard on my first try after i passed everything on medium.

[gnutella]

thank's i'll have to try that out
you don't relax with pillows? wtf. csb, give this man a lesson

[Bobby Bluewater]

try drumming with crocs. the comfort and grip is unbeatable
theres no way im going to the store and buy crocs though

just beat '...and justice for all' on expert drums for the first time
i love this game. does anyone even bother with guitar hero anymore?

[Optimus Fag]

guitar hero is so fucking gay to me now

[pat is way fly]

just played Still Alive for the first time.


bleh. not great.


anyway, i'll probably be playin some this afternoon if anyone wants to play some of the DLC, i'm sick of getting stuck with people who have nothing downloaded.

[gnutella]

if i wasn't stuck at work, well, i probably still wouldn't want to, but i mean, the option would be there

[flipp jackson]

guitar hero is so 2006

[Optimus Fag]

someone post it to me then without charging 100 fucking dollars

[allison wonderland]

hahah this weeks dlc is even worse. its the songs that were free from the OXM demo disc

"Rock Rebellion" by Bang Camaro (master)

"Shake" by Count Zero (master)

"Super Sprode" by Freezepop (master)

[csb]

thats weak, on the oxm podcast they were saying that the only way to ever get those songs was from the oxm disc

[flipp jackson]

yeah that's gay if i didn't even have to buy that magazine i'm pissed

[pat is way fly]

are they free?

i liked the count zero song from GH2

[gnutella]

man, they've dropped the ball the last two weeks

[GRANOLEMAN]

Balls.

[dalton]

fuck that sucks, gimme fuel! I guess it wont be all bad, on the "rock band songs" wikipedia article it says that the difficulty of that bang camaro song is tier 9 on guitar and bass, which is the highest it can go, so thats something to look forward to at least.

[flipp jackson]

that bang camaro song isn't that hard. My girfriend can easily beat it on hard for what it's worth

[the sick]

this is on purpose while the sony store is down

[heygirls]

I know you guys couldn't care less but this shit is certainly fucked: they've finally set the release date for Europe, 23rd of May. Alas, EA seems to think Europe = Great Britain, France and Germany. So still no fucking Rock Band for Scandinavia or anybody else. The price for GB is set at £180 which translates to a ludicrous $350. This is really amazing. How fucking difficult can it be to manufacture some fucking plastic toys when they can pump out millions of consoles, mobile phones etc. in mere months. Truly fucking unbelievable. I'd boycott this shit if I didn't want it like crack (or if the XBOX 360 didn't have regional encoding).

Fuck EA, fuck MTV and fuck good times.

[flipp jackson]

Fuck EA, fuck MTV and fuck good times.

this sentiment is almost always applicable

[pat is way fly]

the "new" songs are fun this week, i got 'em since they were cheap anyway.

[allison wonderland]

"new" songs

"Call Me" by Blondie (master)


"Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd (master)


"Message in Bottle" by the Police (master)

[gnutella]

"cool"

[flipp jackson]

i'd probably grab all of those songs

[GRANOLEMAN]

Fuck yes finally back to good DLC. I don't think I have neglected Rock Band since I have had it as much as I have these past two weeks. It's crazy how zombie-like you become when you feed on quality DLC.

[csb]

motley crue's new single will also be available tomorrow for 99 cents, however that translates to MS points

[flipp jackson]

has motley crue made anything listenable in the past 15 years?

[gnutella]

has motley crue made anything listenable?

yeah, no

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - MTV said on Friday it will start selling full albums that can be downloaded and played in its "Rock Band" video game, with the first title coming next week from classic metal act Judas Priest.

Judas Priest's "Screaming for Vengeance," which contains the band's hit "You've Got Another Thing Comin"' and nine other tracks, will cost $15, with individual songs from the album going for $2 each, MTV said.
In "Rock Band," launched last November, players strum guitar controllers, pound a fake drum kit, or sing into a microphone in time with songs playing on a television screen.

MTV, a unit of entertainment firm Viacom Inc, has released new tunes every week for "Rock Band," usually in the form of three-song packs focused on an artist or genre, with players buying more than 8 million songs so far.
"Our intention is to cover every base, both in terms of era and every sub-genre of rock," Alex Rigopulos, founder of the Harmonix studio that makes the game, said in an interview.

"Rock Band" competes with the "Guitar Hero" franchise from Activision Inc, which adds fresh songs less frequently but is scheduled to roll out a new installment in June focusing on classic rock band Aerosmith.
"Rock Band" has long promised full albums, and the Judas Priest album will be followed in May by the self-titled debut album of 1980s rockers The Cars, and in June with "Doolittle" from alternative band The Pixies.

"These are three very different rock albums and each is very seminal in its own way," Rigopulos said.
The Judas Priest album hits the online store for Microsoft Corp's Xbox 360 on April 22, and arrives on Sony Corp's PlayStation 3 store two days later.

Wow great news.

Go buy some real instruments, fags. The amount of time wasted playing these toys and you could have a real band with a sets worth of songs.

yeah but i don't have the time to learn how to play a real instrument, nor do i really want to buy an entire drum set. i have no ambitions of forming a band, writing a song, or even to sing karaoke in front of a group of 10 or more people.

[flipp jackson]

after all that talk they aren't releasing nevermind or the who album first?

[ChrisInYourPants]

Am I the only that's bored of this game. I've had it since launch, and it's too fucking repetitive now. Even when I download new songs it's only fun for a few plays then it just gets fucking old watching the gay little colors scroll down the screen waiting to hit a button. I'm thinking of trading this in and using the credit for GTAIV and Mario Kart. Not to mention most songs cost more the $1.00 in MS points and you can't even do anything with them outside the game, like put them on your iPod or burn them to a cd, ect.

[Unregistered Guy]

i hate rock band and guitar hero. stupid game. fucking spend $300 and go buy a real guitar and learn how to play real music.
This is the problem, not the solution.

To understand the solution, you must first come to a realization that 95% of the time, the base audience of these games are NOT - 1.members of the the prp board 2.musicians and 3.fans of music other than mainstream radio shit like Nickelback. The worst thing that could ever happen is that these people take your advice, go out and buy instruments, and then bombard your music scene with shitty music. If you would like an example of how horrible and real this scenario can become, please come to St. Louis sometime.

[Unregistered Guy]

Actually, in addition, I would like to say that I know a lot of fans of this game THAT ARE musicians. So that pretty much just annihilates your point in every way.

[Hephaestus]

As a guitar player of 12 years, both Guitar Hero and Rock Band bore the shit out of me.

[Unregistered Guy]

I'm not saying that it's a test of musical skill by any means, I am however saying that know multiple fairly well-versed musicians who respectively enjoy playing the games. Hopefully, anyone who plays any instrument can agree that playing the games vs playing real music is obviously not a real comparison.

[chintzy]

its a fucking game for fuck sakes. its not going to make you famous. your not learning anything. its for fun.

get your buddies together, get right tuned up and laugh at one another while they eat shit on dragonforce

PS2 to PS3 Guitar Hero Adapter Rescues Otherwise Functional Guitars
http://kotaku.com/assets/resources/2008/04/ps23adapter.jpg

DUST OFF YOUR FAVORITE PS2 GUITAR CONTROLLERS! THE ANT COMMANDOS' PLAYSTATION® 2 TO PLAYSTATION® 3 ADAPTER IS NOW AVAILABLE TO REVITALIZE YOUR PS2 GUITAR HERO CONTROLLERS
TAC's Universal Adapter Is The First On The Market That is 100% Compatible With Guitar HeroT 3 & Rock BandT Features

April 28, 2008 - Ontario, CA- The Ant Commandos (TAC), a leading provider of innovative wireless video game music peripherals and accessories, announced today its universal PlayStation 2 to PlayStation 3 adapter for guitar and game controllers is now available at retail for an SRP of $19.99.

This is great news for Guitar Hero and Rock Band fans as they can protect their investment in PS2 guitar controllers and revitalize them for Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band for PS3. Gamers will no longer have to throw away all of the valuable PS2 hardware they have accumulated over the years. The new PlayStation 2 to PlayStation 3 adapter enables all PS2 controllers, such as PS2 Guitar Hero guitars, to be utilized on
the PlayStation 3. Unlike previous attempts from other companies, TAC's universal adapter is 100% compatible with all of the popular guitar controllers on the market, and is engineered to function
perfectly with every feature in the Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band games for PS3.
"When consumers purchase a PS2 to PS3 adapter for their favorite PS3 games, they expect everything to be compatible. It is devastating for a player to discover that certain game features such as hammer on,
hammer off don't work with other adapters on the market," said Jesse Manwill, Senior Manager, Product Management at TAC. "The great thing about the new TAC universal adapter is that we take into account every feature that players love in Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band for PS3, and ensure that every gamer can have an enjoyable experience with their video game peripherals. We spent an incalculable amount of engineering and testing time with almost all guitar controllers in the market to make sure it is compatible."

The new TAC universal adapter is guaranteed to work on all of TAC's PS2 guitar controllers. The adapter is also compatible with regular PS2 controllers, Red Octane's and Activision's SG Controller, the Kramer Wireless, Nyko's PS2 Frontman guitar, the DreamGear Shredster, all React PS2 guitar controllers and all Psyclone PS2 guitar controllers, along with many other brands. Additionally, the TAC adapter features
a Power On Indicator LED, Easy Plug-N-Play installation, and supports multiple PlayStation 2 to PlayStation 3 adapters. The Universal PS2 to PS3 adapter is available now.

[kilgore]

These songs can be picked up individually for $1.99 (160 MS Points). And here they are:

The Mother Hips – “Red Tandy” (MASTER)

Smashing Pumpkins – “Zero” (MASTER)

This week's tracks will *not* be available as a pack, and must be downloaded separately.

[the sick]

nevermind

[Jerz]

Definitely excited for MUSE next week although out of everything they could have picked, they went with "Hysteria".

On the other side of the coin, it's a fucking bummer that Blur's "Beetlebum" is a fucking cover.

[allison wonderland]

WHAT MUSE HYSTERIA?

[gnutella]

post all the info there, chief

[allison wonderland]

Hey everybody, its that time again. Next week for DLC we have the tracks from the European release of Rock Band. All tracks are $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points) each. They will be available Tuesday on the Xbox 360 and Thursday on the PS3.

the cars album is coming out too..i think they're doing a good job of pumping out new music. plus i'm still on GTA4 so i can wait for good DLC

it'd be cool if they release greatest hits albums in the future

[Did I Stutter?]

"Monsoon by Tokio Hotel (master)"

Oh thank heavens! I was going to be soooooo pissed if they ruined one of their songs by making it a cover.

[Jerz]

the cars album is coming out too.

Nine downloadable singles for Rock Band were released Tuesday on Xbox 360 (Thursday for PlayStation 3), but Harmonix is already gearing up to release nine more tracks next week in the form of The Cars' self-titled debut album. Released in 1978, the classic new-wave album features the following songs:

1. "Good Times Roll"
2. "My Best Friend's Girl"
3. "Just What I Needed"
4. "I'm in Touch with Your World"
5. "Don't Chat Stop"
6. "You're All I've Got Tonight"
7. "Bye Bye Love"
8. "Moving in Stereo"
9. "All Mixed Up"

Rock Band's second complete album will be priced the same as the first -- $1.99 (160 Microsoft points) per track, or $14.99 (1200 Microsoft points) for the whole set -- and will be available on Tuesday, May 27 on the Xbox Live Marketplace and Thursday, May 29 via the PlayStation Store.

[milhouse]

damn, I haven't downloaded a song for rock band in at least a month or two. They really hit a dry spell with putting out good stuff.

[flipp jackson]

i don't understand why buffett felt the need to redo these songs

[GRANOLEMAN]

i don't understand why buffett felt the need to redo these songs

Well like most things with that guy, I'll start with this as a wild guess.
http://img28.picoodle.com/img/img28/4/6/3/f_ninem_620c5f5.jpg

[flipp jackson]

but gamespot said that he redid the songs specifically for rock band. are there that many buffett fans that have rock band? my parents would love this weeks DLC

[GRANOLEMAN]

Finally had a drum kit malfunction tonight, was wondering why my bass pedal felt weird.

http://img32.picoodle.com/img/img32/4/6/4/f_IMG00340m_c6607cf.jpg

I have the replacement plan from Best Buy, just hoping I can go in and swap out the bass pedal and not have to drag back in all the other shit. If so I guess I'll have to pull the Neva card and go ape shit.

Definitely am going to get a stomp plate for the new bass pedal.

[Bobby Bluewater]

yeah metal plate works wonders
im not sure how fast EA is at replacing shit in the US but i got my replacement drums in like a week here in canada

[meadowblaster]

EA will replace any broken RD shit indefinititely. I just had my drums replaced due to busting the yellow pad, and the red pad wasn't registering some notes.

I guess I shouldn't use a pair of my real drumsticks since they're 5x heavier than the toothpicks that come with the drums.

[Jerz]

Finally had a drum kit malfunction tonight

Finally had a drum kit malfunction tonight, was wondering why my bass pedal felt weird.

http://img32.picoodle.com/img/img32/4/6/4/f_IMG00340m_c6607cf.jpg

I have the replacement plan from Best Buy, just hoping I can go in and swap out the bass pedal and not have to drag back in all the other shit. If so I guess I'll have to pull the Neva card and go ape shit.

Definitely am going to get a stomp plate for the new bass pedal.

Looks like you broke your thumb as well, jesus.

[flipp jackson]

just buy one of the 20 dollar metal plates and you'll be set, it's one of the best purchases i've made all year

Look no further than next week's Rock Band DLC. The Pixies' "Doolittle" is coming. For 1520 Microsoft Points ($19) you can own the entire album. That's 14 master tracks to go along with "Wave of Mutilation," which is already included with Rock Band. Or you can pick and choose songs at 160 Microsoft Points ($2) per track.


Released in 1989, "Doolittle" is a classic album that helped cement the Pixies as one of the preeminent alternative rock bands. Here's the complete list of tracks available for download next week:

* "Crackity Jones"
* "Dead"
* "Debaser"
* "Gouge Away"
* "Here Comes Your Man"
* "Hey"
* "I Bleed"
* "La la Love You"
* "Monkey Gone To Heaven"
* "Mr Grieves"
* "No 13 Baby"
* "Silver"
* "Tame"
* "There Goes My Gun"

Just because an album is great for your iPod doesn't necessarily mean it's great to play in a music game. Fear not. For the most part "Doolittle" delivers. This is an eclectic album with songs that sound and play quite different from one another. Most are short and sweet, but the tempo varies greatly from one to the next. The only thing that can be said universally about the entire album is that it's not very challenging. Even casual drummers can handle most of the songs on hard and those who only dream of playing guitar on expert can give it a go on the majority of tracks. Only vocalists are put to task as singer Black Francis runs the vocal gamut. If hitting your upper register isn't your thing, then the Pixies may be the end of your virtual singing career.

Rock Band has never been about providing insurmountable challenges. Instead, it's a game focused on creating a welcoming atmosphere where four people can pretend they're rock stars. The offerings from The Pixies are certainly fun. Everyone will have a blast with "Monkey Gone to Heaven," "There Goes My Gun" and "Debaser." Those are three of the best songs to play with a group.


On the other side of the spectrum, "Silver" may be the worst song I have ever played on Rock Band. While the song is fantastic to listen to, it's a snore to play. The drums feature the same repetitive pads, hit in a very slow rhythm, the bass is too simplistic for even a novice and Kim Deal's song stylings will have your friends offering a shrill falsetto certain to cause a few eardrums to bleed. The only other qualm is that Harmonix cut off the word "marijuana" in "Gouge Away." It just says "mari-" and then the vocals drop for a second. When did marijuana become a dirty word?

Aside from "Silver" the rest of the album is solid. Without question this is one of the best downloads so far for Rock Band. And more importantly it serves one of the key goals Harmonix set for its music game -- introduce people to artists they might not have previously heard. While the cool kids in school know every song on "Doolittle" by heart, there are many more who are about to be introduced to the Pixies' brilliance. That's pretty awesome.

"Doolittle" will be available Tuesday, June 17 on Xbox Live Marketplace and Thursday, June 19 on the PlayStation store.

Wake Up! Rock Band 2 hitting this September [Update]

Posted Jun 30th 2008 4:00AM by Xav de Matos (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/bloggers/xav-de-matos)

Update: Apologizes, the early hours seem to have hit us. Rock Band 2 is scheduled to release on the Xbox 360 this September with a PS3 release later in the year. Other platforms have not been confirmed at the time of the press release.

Are you sitting down? Today MTV, Harmonix (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/Harmonix/) and EA surprised no one by confirming suspicion that Rock Band 2 (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/Rock-Band-2/) was in the works. Yes, the worst-kept secret of sequels since Microsoft announced Halo 3 is scheduled to hit this September on the Xbox 360 PS3 and other yet-to-be named platforms.

In an interview with IGN (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/885/885168p1.html), Harmonix lead designer Dan Teasdale spilled some carefully worded beans on the sequel. Most importantly Harmonix confirmed all Rock Band downloadable content will also work in Rock Band 2 and Teasdale also teased that new features are planned "that let you play your DLC in different ways." Teasdale also states that new downloadable content will be released for the Rock Band (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/Rock-Band/) platform when Rock Band 2 is released, meaning you can download all DLC and play on either version. Also, the dreaded profile switching issue in the original is being examined and corrected for a more streamlined experience.

While Teasdale also confirms new instruments are in development for Rock Band 2 they are only receiving more reliable and cosmetic changes, meaning your old Rock Band sets will still work as well. While Teasdale doesn't confirm some of the questions posed to him, he does tease at the possibility of and online World Tour and multiple users on vocals instruments.

Jump in for a look at the new Stratocaster guitar as well as the top ten bands Teasdale hinted might make it onto the Rock Band 2 retail disc.

Top Ten Bands IGN asked Teasdale for in Rock Band 2, to which he replied some of the picks are on the disc but did not confirm which, are:

Agent Orange
The Beatles
Built to Spill
The Buzzcocks
Journey
Led Zeppelin
Modest Mouse
Pavement
The Replacements

By DERRIK J. LANG, AP Entertainment Writer 1 hour, 46 minutes ago


LOS ANGELES - "Rock Band" is ready for an encore.
A sequel to the play-along music game that redefined the genre last year will be released first for the Xbox 360 in September, according to publisher MTV Games and developer Harmonix. "Rock Band 2" will feature a new variety of instruments, online modes and songs, and will allow players to import their previously purchased "Rock Band" tunes.
"With the original 'Rock Band,' the focus was on innovation," Harmonix co-founder and CEO Alex Rigopulos told The Associated Press. "With 'Rock Band 2,' the focus is on perfection of the experience. We've had a year to listen to our fans and build out the scope, depth and polish of the experience, so it feels like a second-generation band game."

MTV Games and Harmonix will debut "Rock Band 2" on Microsoft's Xbox 360 in September then make the game available for Sony's PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 as well as Nintendo's Wii later in the year. The original "Rock Band" was simultaneously released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 last November before later coming to the PlayStation 2 and Wii.
"Microsoft has been a great partner for 'Rock Band,'" said Van Toffler, president of MTV Networks Music Group, which oversees the "Rock Band" franchise. "It's just so easy to download the content using the Xbox 360 system. It's evolved into a great marketing partnership as well. They'll really blow it out for us."

"Rock Band" allows up to four gamers to form a virtual band, thrashing and singing along to songs with friends online or in-person on various phony instruments. The second edition will feature a playlist of over 80 songs — all master recordings — which will include more female-fronted bands and artists who have never contributed tunes to a music game.
If you've already downloaded a song for the original "Rock Band" — at about $1.99 per track, which can't be transferred to an MP3 player — it will immediately be loaded into your "Rock Band 2" song list without needing to be repurchased or re-downloaded. It's the first time such retroactive compatibility has been introduced in a music game.
"It's the No. 1 most-requested feature from our fans," said Rigopulos.

All prior versions of "Rock Band" instruments, as well as many from the competing "Guitar Hero" franchise, will also be compatible with "Rock Band 2." Harmonix will unleash a collection of new instrument-shaped controllers, including a sturdier drum kit and a Fender Stratocaster reproduction guitar lined with faux wood-grain buttons.
"For fans interested in hardware, the second-generation peripherals are an amazing step forward from the first-generation guitar and drums," said Rigopulos of Harmonix, which created the first two "Guitar Hero" games. "The instruments make huge strides in both fit and finish as well as features and functions."

Thus far, over 15 million songs of the over 200 available tracks have been downloaded from the "Rock Band" online music store since the game's launch last November. The catalog includes songs from rock acts such as The Rolling Stones, Blondie, The Cars, Wolfmother, Queens of the Stone Age, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth and Jimmy Buffett.
MTV Games and Harmonix are releasing 12 "Rock Band" songs on July 15 from The Who — ranging from "My Generation" to "Who Are You" — that all utilize the band's master recordings. The tracks will be available for $1.99 individually or $19.99 together. The special release coincides with the upcoming "VH1 Rock Honors" ceremony commemorating The Who.
"Their music really comes alive when you're playing it," said Rigopulos. "We were trying to release 'Who's Next' in its entirety, but we were unable to locate all the masters. So in the face of that, Pete (Townshend) and Roger (Daltrey) helped curate this best-of soundtrack of everything we were able to find."

The official announcement of "Rock Band 2" means the industry's rhythm game rivalry will enter a three-way matchup this fall against Activision and RedOctane's latest "Guitar Hero" title and Konami's new-music-game-on-the-block "Rock Revolution," which will use the Wii's controllers to simulate air guitars and drums.
Playing music on plastic guitars has become a big business. "Guitar Hero III" has sold 2.5 million units while "Rock Band" has moved 1.3 million units. Both music games are in the top-10 moneymakers for 2008 so far, according to the most recent monthly video game sales data from NPD Group analyst Anita Frazier.

Rigopulos wouldn't comment on how much "Rock Band 2" would cost. The original game bundled with all the instruments went for about $170 at launch. Rigopulos said MTV Games, Harmonix and distributor Electronic Arts were making every effort possible to provide several choices for consumers looking to gear up for "Rock Band 2."
"Guitar Hero World Tour" — the fourth iteration of the franchise that started the music-game trend — will be released in October and will feature a "Rock Band"-like assemblage of peripheral instruments for the first time, as well as the ability make instrumental music, a feature Rigopulos said won't be found on "Rock Band 2."

"We really felt like we wanted to do it right," said Rigopulos. "We're taking a radically different approach to that problem. It's something we wanted to take more time to do it right. It's actually something we're not focused on in 'Rock Band 2.' We're really focused on other areas related to the music and bringing the community together."
MTV Games and Harmonix plan to announce additional "Rock Band 2" details — including the game's playlist — at the E3 Media and Business Summit in July. MTV executive Toffler hinted that "Rock Band 2" will be expanding upon idea of what it means to play online as well eventually broadening the musical genres of available downloadable content. "I believe we're going to see global online competitions where bands performing throughout the world will compete against each other," said Toffler. "I'm personally excited to open up the genres of music to country, hip-hop and R&B. We've just scratched the surface, really."

[flipp jackson]

man i'd love to play some led zeppelin in rock band

[the sick]

seriously if they have cymbals on this kit AND a 2nd bass pedal that would be awesome

[allison wonderland]

maybe rock band 3 will have keyboard or synth periph and then dance pad support to go along with

[Unregistered Guy]

Wikipedia has a list of songs that supposedly "have been revealed by sources outside Harmonix, but have yet to receive official confirmation."

Some of these were discussed earlier in this thread:

"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" Rolling Stones
"Aesthetics of Hate" Machine Head
"Alabama Getaway" Grateful Dead
"All I Want" Offspring
"Breed" Nirvana
"Brown Sugar" Rolling Stones
"Burn" Nine Inch Nails
"Come Out and Play" Offspring
"Drain You" Nirvana
"Gone Away" Offspring
"Lithium" Nirvana
"Lounge Act" Nirvana
"Misery Business" Paramore
"On A Plain" Nirvana
"Pinball Wizard" The Who
"Polly" Nirvana
"Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)" Offspring
"Recieved Your Letter" Schnitzer
"Self Esteem" Offspring
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" Nirvana
"Something in the Way" Nirvana
"Stay Away" Nirvana
"Territorial Pissings" Nirvana
"The Kids Aren't Alright" Offspring
"Through Being Cool" Devo

Apparently, Offspring and Nirvana packs are inevitable.

[Bobby Bluewater]

seriously if they have cymbals on this kit AND a 2nd bass pedal that would be awesome
they fixed a few DLC songs with vocal glitches and stuff and you were able to re-download the updated track so it'd be cool if they added a double kick pedal to the drums and you could re-download an updated chart of songs they dumbed down the double kick on (the haunted, at the gates)

[flipp jackson]

Apparently, Offspring and Nirvana packs are inevitable.

i thought they were planning on releasing nevermind as an album DLC?

[Hollow Light]

I will probably invest in the second one.

[GRANOLEMAN]

ut oh.

UK Rock Band 2 release comment, "a misunderstanding"

UK gamers, you might want to take a seat for this one. Speaking with Eurogamer, EA has stated that there has been a misunderstanding regarding the UK release of Rock Band 2.

"There was a misunderstanding and there is no confirmed date for Europe," an unnamed spokesperson from EA told Eurogamer. Yesterday we reported an unnamed EA rep hinted at a possible simultaneous release for the upcoming title.

Currently the only confirmed release information for the recently announced sequel is the title's Xbox 360 timed-exclusivity for a Stateside launch sometime in September. Could Rock Band 2 also suffer from a late release throughout North America much like the original which launched in December 2007 in Canada? Only time will tell. More information regarding the title is expected at E3 which kicks off on July 14.

[Bobby Bluewater]

fuck, canada better not get it late again

[GRANOLEMAN]

If you were delayed last time because they included you guys with "Europe" then I wouldn't bet against it being delayed. 'dolences in advance.

[Bobby Bluewater]

the first rock band was only a month later..but still..i'd rather not wait

Rock Band 2's 80+ tracks set to be announced at E3

More details on the sequel to Rock Band have been revealed via an AP interview with Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos.

Rigopulos noted that the game will feature over 80 master tracks, including more female-fronted bands. The playlist is slated to be released at E3.

The CEO also noted that, unlike Activision's Guitar Hero World Tour, Rock Band 2 will not feature any sort of music creation. Instead, the company's stab at creation will be featured in a future title.

"We really felt like we wanted to do it right," said Rigopulos. "We're taking a radically different approach to that problem. It's something we wanted to take more time to do it right. It's actually something we're not focused on in 'Rock Band 2.' We're really focused on other areas related to the music and bringing the community together."

Going along with the theme of polishing the first iteration, Rigopulos added that Rock Band 2's peripherals will be much improved over the first batch.

"For fans interested in hardware, the second-generation peripherals are an amazing step forward from the first-generation guitar and drums. The instruments make huge strides in both fit and finish as well as features and functions."

From an IGN editor: "Immediately upon purchasing Rock Band 2 you'll have the ability to download a huge library of songs, as well as all of the songs off of the original disc as a free download."

The rumored tracklist:


11) testify (rage against the machine)
17) everlong (foo fighters)
19) lump (presidents of the USA)
20) come out and play (offspring)
29) today (smashing pumpkins)

47) float on (modest mouse)

Harmonix might announce the full list at E3

[GRANOLEMAN]

http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/07/rock_band_2_wireless_drums.jpg

Rock Band 2 isn't going to just take the introduction of a wireless drum set in Guitar Hero World Tour lying down. No, Harmonix has its own wireless drum set planned, according to a product listing on Amazon.com. With a tentative release date of September 14 and a price of $89.99, it may mean waiting for an upgrade that's free of ugly cables is just around the corner.

In less than a week Electronic Arts will be showing off Rock Band 2 to the world's gaming press at this year's E3. To get your motor running a bit early, Harmonix dropped this fat fact sheet and these images on us.

First things first: If you already own Rock Band and you buy Rock Band 2 all of your songs will transfer over automatically and free o' charge.

Rock Band 2, which hits the Xbox 360 this September and the PS2, PS3 and Wii later this year, includes a number of new tweaks both to the software and hardware. Some highlights:

The new and improved drums and guitar peripherals will be compatible with the original Rock Band and original instruments will work with Rock Band 2. The new guitar will have a sturdier strum bar, quieter buttons and be wireless. The new drum kit will include a metal reinforced pedal, quieter pads, velocity sensors and... be wireless.

New Mini-Campaigns
Custom Set Lists
Online World Tour
Drum Trainer

That's right, Rock Band 2 will literally teach you how to play drums.

We weren't allowed to play with the new instruments when the game was showed off to press last month, but I did manage to grope the drum kit for a few seconds when no one was looking. The pedal looked like it would stand up to more abuse and the drums themselves had a thicker rubber like feel to them. I'm certain they would be much quieter. The guitar, well the guitar looks just kick ass.

[WifePunch]

Hey just curious where you found this info from? The drum trainer and world tour mode online are gonna be sweet.

[GRANOLEMAN]

Kotaku

[Bobby Bluewater]

sounds sweet

if the drums are considerably better than the first rock band, it's looking like a better deal than guitar hero 4

[flipp jackson]

guitar hero will probably make you buy back each song you bought before

[GRANOLEMAN]

guitar hero will probably make you buy back each song you bought before

All like 10 songs they have for DLC.

[Bobby Bluewater]

theres a good chance gh4 will fuck the drum tracks up by overcharting too

[flipp jackson]

what does overcharting mean?

[WTA]

play reign in blood on gh3 and get back to me

[GRANOLEMAN]

play reign in blood on gh3 and get back to me

No joke, song isn't even remotely fun, as is most of GH3.

[flipp jackson]

gh3 was fun but then the last tier just got monstrously hard. Oh and fuck those boss battles, who the hell at activision thought that would be fun?

[WifePunch]

I can't imagine how imposable the drum charts are going to be in GH4. The last like 6 songs on expert I gave up on shits not fun at all. I cant wait for the monster drum battles....

[csb]

Reuters are reporting that a deal between Electronic Arts and MTV will make the Madden 09 soundtrack available in the weekly downloadable content update for Rock Band.

Quoth Reuters:

Under the deal, "Rock Band" will feature music from the "Madden 09" soundtrack in its weekly downloadable songs update, a handful at a time, over several weeks, with each song carrying the "Madden" brand. Additionally, each soundtrack song will be available for sale via iTunes as part of a special "Madden" playlist.

Max provided a handy-dandy track list reminder (below), noting that two songs already are available as Rock Band DLC: "Inside the Fire" by Disturbed, and "Hammerhead" by The Offspring. The soundtrack:

Airbourne - Stand Up For Rock ‘N Roll
Busta Rhymes feat. Linkin Park - We Made It
Disturbed - Inside The Fire
Franz Ferdinand - Lucid Dreams
From First To Last - Worlds Away
Gym Class Heroes - I’m Home

MSI on Rock Band? I AM THERE

[Logg]

Busta Rhymes feat. Linkin Park - We Made It
Mindless Self Indulgence - Never Wanted To Dance
Trivium - Into The Mouth Of…We March

I will buy those

[Bobby Bluewater]

what does overcharting mean?
making songs ridiculously hard on expert which sometimes takes the fun out of the song
like someone mentioned..the mosh part of raining blood or the god awful slipknot-before i forget chart (the bridge especially)

i found the custom chart of dragonforce ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NumLW3TZ8pk ) they had for modded ps2's way funner than the gh3 version too..the way they charted was intro was unnecessary imo

most harmonix charts are "easier" but they're way more fun and stay true to how the song is actually played on guitar

[flipp jackson]

i definitely feel what you're saying, they purposely made some of those songs a fucking chore

[Bobby Bluewater]

ion's $300 3rd party premium rock band drum set is coming out soon i think

[flipp jackson]

i guess that ion kit actually doubles as an electric drum set

[Bobby Bluewater]

yeah, although i imagine its pretty basic for $300
still really cool
i might pick it up if its decent
you could record beats on garageband and change the sound of everything to emulate real drums if you wanted

[the sick]

thats pretty sweet

[Jerz]

I didn't see anything on that site that said the drums double as an electric kit. Where did you see that?

[the sick]

Guns N' Roses new song "Shackler's Revenge" in 2

guess that confirms one of those lists may be real

[Bobby Bluewater]

Rock Band 2 getting cymbal-ized
GI reports Harmonix's drum kit will feature crash, ride, and high-hat add-ons; Fender, Ion partnership for LE real-instrument conversions.

The term "battle of the bands" has come to epitomize the competitive one-upmanship of Activision's Guitar Hero series and MTV Games' Rock Band franchise. While the first Harmonix-developed rhythm game under the MTV Games label won superior critical approbation thanks to the addition of drums and a karaoke element, the Guitar Hero brand name and a lower price point pushed the Neversoft-made Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock to the top of the billboard sales charts.

This year, the two franchises are again crossing axes with Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band 2, and the musical arms race is heating up. Earlier this year, Activision hit its first power chord, announcing it would hop on the musical quartet wagon, adding in a five-pad (plus kick pedal) drum kit and a karaoke mic, among other substantially new features.

Today, MTV Games and Harmonix have struck back. As revealed in the latest Game Informer, the new drum kit will have more than just squishy, velocity-sensitive pads. While the standard-issue new drum kit will retain the four-pad setup of its predecessor, drumming enthusiasts will be able to purchase an additional cymbal pack. The pack includes crash, ride, and high-hat add-ons that can be plugged into the new kit and will be associated with existing colors. Because the cymbal pack will plug into expansion slots, Rock Band's original drum set will remain compatible with the game's follow-up.

For those counting, that adds up to a possible eight drum inputs, two more than World Tour and topping even the kit in Konami's Rock Revolution. Konami has taken actions of its own to counter MTV Games and Harmonix's move into the rhythm game space, claiming patent infringement and filing suit against Harmonix in a Texas court this week.

In addition to the new cymbal pack, GI reports that Harmonix and MTV Games have commissioned limited-edition instruments from Fender and Ion that will be made compatible with their rhythm game. From Fender, real Stratocasters will reportedly be stripped and then outfitted with game-input parts. The special edition Ion drum kit will feature four pads, three cymbals, and a kick pedal and will double as a fully functional electronic drum kit. Pricing information for the limited-edition bundles was not revealed.

[Bobby Bluewater]

[the sick]

an actual electric kit is really interesting

[321Drum!]

I'm so fucking pissed. My buddies and I attempted the Endless Set on Expert tonight and were flying through it until we got to Green Grass and High Tides. Son of a FUCK!!!!! I think the best we got was 84% with me on bass and my buddy on guitar. I finally figured out that stupid ass bass line that comes in during the second solo but guy couldn't handle guitar. I try guitar. Guy can't play the bass line. WE'RE FUCKED!!!! I'm so pissed right now
